第一篇

Pushbike Danger

Low speed bicycle crashes can badly injure——or even kill——children if they fall onto the

ends of the handlebars(車把)．So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer

Kristy Arbogast，a bioengineer at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania，

began the project with her colleagues．The cases they reviewed about serious abdominal(腹部的)

injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were caused by bicycle

accidents．”The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with seine

countermeasures，”she says

By interviewing the children and their parents，Arbogast and her team were able to

reconstruct many of the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries They

discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed，causing them to

topple f搖擺)over．To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars through 90

degrees—but their momentum(沖力)forces them into the end of the handlebars．The bike then

falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground，pushing it in to their abdomen(腹

部．

The solution the group came up with is a handgrip (握柄)fitted with a spring and damping

(減速)system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transmitted(傳遞)through the

handlebars in all impact．The group hopes to commercialize the device，which should add only a

few dollars to t}le cost of a bike．“But our task has been one of education because up until now．

bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem，”says Arbogast．

31 The engineers are trying to improve the handlebars because

A they are not beautiful

B they may kill children

C they are likely to crash．

D they affect the speed of the bike

32 How many abdominal injuries in children were caused by bicycle accidents?

A Thirty．

B Ninety．

C 50 percent．

D More than a third.

33 The world “countermeasures” in paragraph 2 means

A “problems”

B “approaches”

C “solutions”．

D ‘‘a(chǎn)ctions”

”in paragraph 2means

34 Paragraph 3 mainly discusses

A why the children and their parents were interviewed

B how serious abdominal injuries occur.

C when the children turn the handlebars

D what stops bicycle accidents

35 The advantage of the new handgrip is that

A it can be made cheaply.

B it reduces the impact in bicycle accidents．

C it helps to slow down the speed of the bicycle．

D it sells well at bicycle shops．

第二篇

Saving Money

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for If you are saving to

buy a CD(光盤)or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in

your room·

If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip，where would you

save your money?

One place to save money is the bank Putting your money in a savings account will help

your money early more money If you put your money in a piggy bank(豬形儲蓄罐)，one year

later you’11 still have the same amount of money you put in．If you put your money in a savings

account，one year later, you’ll have more money than you put in Why?

When you keep your money in a bank，your money earns interest．Interest is the amount of

money a bank pays you to use your money．The bank uses your money (and the money of other

people，too)to loan money to people and businesses．

The bank will send you a statement several times a year A bank statement tells you how

much money you have in your account，It also tells you how much interest you have earned．If

you leave your money in the bank，you Can watch it grow!

Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD．If you have some

money that you don’t need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow．

You Can buy a cd at a bank．You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time

That period might be from six months to five years．You Can’t touch your money during that time

If you do，you must pay a penalty，or fee

A in your room．

B in a piggy bank

C in your pocket．

D in a savings account

C using your money．

D decreasing your money

C the current rates of exchange．

D the best way to save your money

39 If you draw your money before it is due．you will have to

A pay interest to the bank．

B close your account

C open a new account．
